To all owners of Kosei wheels; When you bought your Kosei wheels (you did
buy them from the Tirerack, right?) did you receive some neat little
machined aluminum screw-in style valve stems?

Well I did and I'm kinda confused.  What's the advantage to running these
neat looking, blue anodized valve stems over the common black rubber type
that you pull through from the inside of the wheel?  They look to me to be
just another opportunity for a leak. They sure aren't any lighter than the
rubber valve stems and to me it looks like an opportunity for the neato
machined aluminum nuts to fly around inside of the tire when they loosen
themselves.  And yes, I have heard of Loc-Tite but.......

What sayest the audience?
